This event is part of the Council’s Smarter Alliance Initiative in partnership with IBM. The Atlantic Council and IBM established this initiative in response to the NATO Secretary General’s call for allies to adopt a “smarter” approach to leveraging scarce defense resources to develop and sustain capabilities necessary to meet current and future security challenges, including cyber security. The first findings of the initiative were presented in December 2011, when the Atlantic Council and IBM launched a set of policy-oriented briefs focused on NATO reform.
